Possibly the worst leather jacket on TV
Every time I see a "2k +" price tag on a fashion coat/shirt, it just makes me feel good all over knowing my Aeros were a fraction of the cost !- t-ray

There can only be one! Vanson Chopper vs Langlitz Cascade
I agree. My two Competition Weight Vansons both took a while to break-in. I have no personal experience with Langlitz, but do know that Vanson makes awesome jackets at a much more affordable price. Their quality, design, and finish are top notch and a bargain compared to some boutique...- t-ray

Thurston Bros. - Official Affiliate Thread
Reeks1, i don't want to 'jack the Insurrection thread too much. Coat on the left is [art of the their "Ace Cafe" collection, basically a fifties half-belt. The other one's a Cheyenne. I really like the Cheyenne, but most prefer the shorter jackets. They're still pretty stiff compared to my...- t-ray

Wow, posting is only a day old, but already three pages old - it took me that long to remember how to post photos !! I agree that with the Aero browns, any of the red based tartans look great. If, like me, you're not affiliated to any particular clan, the options are practically endless...- t-ray

Vanson Cobra 2 with "ProPerf"
Nice write up and photos. I own the Cobra in pro-perf too, and agree that it makes a great jacket for hot summer riding, while maintaining the fit and crash resistance of all good leather Vanson jackets. All the Aerostitch be-suited leather haters gonna hate, but I still prefer to ride in...- t-ray

Aero Cheyenne ?
I for one am quite happy with the relative lack of "luurrvv" compared to the more popular shorter and slimmer styles - I was able to pick up my 'as new' HH Cheyenne on the ebay for a song. If I recall, there was only one other bidder who dropped out after his opening bid. Definitely a...- t-ray

Aero Cheyenne ?
I really like my Cheyenne in Horse Hide (sorry, no experience with goatskin). Sure it's boxy, sure it's heavy, but it's a great winter coat - my mum would approve ! it covers your butt and keeps your mid-section nice and draught free. The boxiness also allows easy layering. To me it's a...- t-ray

Technical Gear versus Horsehide on a long trip.
Map Pocket, Map Pocket ?? Who still uses a map ?? Actually I do, but I wear leathers too ! I thought all you modern riders with your new fangled textile, velcroed, vented, 3M'ed, electric, mesh, air-conditioned, waterproof suits would have GPS on your bikes !!! Also, I don't need no...- t-ray

Starin' and dreamin'
Setting off on Monday for Portland Oregon, then Northern California for a two week road trip with the missus and dog. Been trying to convince myself that it will be chilly enough to warrant taking the new-to-me Aero half belt in FQHH with me. I think y'all just convinced me, thanks Loungers !!- t-ray

Technical Gear versus Horsehide on a long trip.
Call me a Luddite, but I still ride in leather. The new textile gear may be more practical, but man is it f'ugly. To me it either looks like baggy rain gear, or mesh that is suspiciously like the string vests my grand-dad used to wear in the old country ! Yes I'm the dumb Englishman who...- t-ray

Aero 50s Halfbelt
I've been gushing about my new-to-me brown Vanson PLU-3 (long Comet) that I purchased from fellow lounger, Jimmer_5 and detailed on a separate thread. Well, Jimmer and I discussed the Vanson and agreed terms of the sale. I was pressing the "send funds" button on Paypal when Jimmer said...- t-ray

New To Me Custom Brown Vanson PLU-3 (Long Comet)
Thanks for the continued compliments, it really is a great jacket and further cements my love for Vanson products. And Fanch, I have discovered there's an even worse nightmare than HD. He goes by the name of Jimmer_5 on the Lounge. He's a snake charmer extraordinaire . I fell for his...- t-ray

New To Me Custom Brown Vanson PLU-3 (Long Comet)
Thank for the positive responses. I do intend to use this primarily as a riding jacket. I have more serious stuff for when i'm touring or long days in the saddle - Vanson Cobra Mk 2 jacket and Vanson Traveller pants, but this would be my cruising around town jacket, good enough to wear when...- t-ray

New To Me Custom Brown Vanson PLU-3 (Long Comet)
Hi Loungers, thought it was time I actually contributed to this site after lurking for so long. I've gleaned a lot of useful information that has shaped my buying habits for hats and leather coats. To date I have a couple of Open Road hats (one vintage Stetson and one custom made for me by...- t-ray

Vanson PLU-3 Comet with custom features and Brown Competition weight leather, 44-46
Currently I have a cordovan Aero Barnstormer, and a black Vanson Enfield. The Barnstormer is a brick-door of a great winter coat for the west coast, and I'm looking for that cafe racer look as a change from the Enfield which, with the collar and the bi-fold back is a bit bulky. My sportbike...- t-ray
